Treats

Special thanks for your company, cards and presents on my special day.

1. Lilik and Margaret Mary for the lunch treat in a Chinese Restaurant in Jerez and also Margaret Mary for insisting in picking me up from the golf course.
2. Murray for a round of golf.
3. Ann, Dave, Pam, Alan and Lau Kong for gifts and dinner.
4. Ann and Dave for the invite to the BBQ.

Now do you understand why my waist line is expanding? My husband says that there are a few pounds of me that he is not legally married to!

Lemper



The delectable lemper from my friend, Lilik are so precious, worth her weight in gold. Gracias carino. :))
What an innovative idea to wrap up the lemper with parchment paper since banana leaves are not available here.
No dinner for me, just two pieces to savour every single bite with eyes closed.
I love the texture and fragrance of the rice.
The enjoyment was brought to a greater height by dipping them into chilli sauce and dried scallops.
I can't wait to learn this scrumptious recipe from her.
The next hurdle is in buying glutinous rice which is about 248 Km away excluding toll charges.

and preserves. Its eternal goal is life.' Smiley Blanton
